1989 Suzuki 115HP trim question.

Question: the trim powers up and down pretty quick and works as it seems it should, but it has 2 pistons under the motor that significantly slow the trim speed (up or down). Once the motor reached these pistons the motor practically stops. I thought that this was there to let you know when the motor is down far enough (no trim gauge), but my bow is bouncing? After hitting the pistons, the motor still has a little way to go before its trimmed all the way down. (its attached to a 17' Skeeter)

I can get a picture tommorow...

The long cylinders are tilt, which goes quick. The trim is the fine adjusting short pistons. The further down you trim the motor the lower the bow rides under load and while planing, and vice versa. Should be a gauge on the dSh
